KALANK MOVIE STORY INSPIRED FULL

This is an entertaining short book about a moderately interesting person that doesnРІР‚в„ўt quite feel worth the full hardback price as youРІР‚в„ўll read this in under an hour, and the piece will probably appear in a Jon Ronson collection like Lost At Sea sometime in the future. The music they made is the music of people who didnРІР‚в„ўt know what music was and who created it without influences or having heard a single song РІР‚вЂњ the results are extraordinary! Check out РІР‚СљPhilosophy of the WorldРІР‚Сњ for some of the weirdest music youРІР‚в„ўll ever listen to (though The Shaggs have their fans РІР‚вЂњ Kurt Cobain and Frank Zappa both rated their record as among their top 5 greatest albums ever made!). They were a small group from the American South who grew up on a farm, isolated from the outside world, and banned from listening to music until one day their crazy dad gave them instruments and demanded they become a successful band. RonsonРІР‚в„ўs short memoir РІР‚вЂњ nearly 70 pages made up of double spaced, large font sentences with full page photos РІР‚вЂњ is padded out further with a brief look at another outsider artist music group, The Shaggs.

Their van driver was Chris Evans who went on to become one of the highest earning celebrities in the UK, earning tens of millions for his breakfast radio show and of course Ronson himself who went on to become a successful journalist, documentarian, and bestselling writer.Р”Р‡rank Sidebottom/Chris Sievey would die of throat cancer in 2010, penniless, whose funeral and commemorative statue would be paid for by his fans, who came out in droves to donate when he passed. Aherne took the character and developed it into The Mrs Merton Show and the enormously successful follow-up, The Royle Family, making millions and winning numerous awards. Caroline Aherne, then a secretary at the BBC, played a character in a skit during FrankРІР‚в„ўs radio show: Mrs Merton.

Ironically, nearly everyone else in FrankРІР‚в„ўs periphery became hugely successful РІР‚вЂњ but not Frank. Ronson clearly liked Sievey a lot and his book casts him as crazy and George Bernard ShawРІР‚в„ўs Unreasonable Man, but that these were admirable qualities in this unique individual and made him stand out. ItРІР‚в„ўs kinda funny and tragic that there was this Jekyll/Hyde nature to Sievey and that he actually seemed to prefer being Frank to the person he was in real life, and that professionalism was the death of the band РІР‚вЂњ FrankРІР‚в„ўs improv/freestyle showmanship was what made him stand out, and bringing in actual musicians and rehearsing made him less appealing to audiences. There isnРІР‚в„ўt much to this book РІР‚вЂњ Frank was a character Sievey played who revelled in chaotic stage shows and whose success was relatively low (his biggest gig was opening for Bros at Wembley to an audience of 50,000 who booed him as he came out and played terrible renditions of Bros songs). RonsonРІР‚в„ўs brief memoir comes out just as a movie version of Frank Sidebottom, starring Michael Fassbender and Maggie Gyllenhaal, is released and recounts the barmy days he was in the band. Sporting a fibreglass cartoon head, Frank (played by Chris Sievey) would perform strange Beatles/Queen/Bruce Springsteen covers with his Oh Blimey Big Band, of which Jon Ronson was the keyboardist. There isnРІР‚в„ўt much to t Frank Sidebottom was a novelty act from the Manchester music scene of the late 80s/early 90s.

Twenty-five years later and Jon has co-written a movie, Frank, inspired by his time in this great and bizarre band.

This became the subject of feverish speculation during his zenith years. Nobody outside his inner circle knew his true identity.
